    Account restricted on draftkings after big win

    Hit a parlay for 2k off a $6 bet. Shortly after I couldn't log in and got an email saying congrats on your big win but it created a taxable event and they need to verify if theres any offsets/money owed to the state.
    I had a lot of funds in my account that I wanted to withdraw not counting the 2k and now I cant access them. I also have a bunch of pending bets, free bets, and other promos that I can't access or use.

    Emails and twitter messages to them got the same scripted nonsense that was in the automated email.

    I really needed to withdraw some of the existing money that I had in there and now I dont know how long my money will be tied up. Not to mention my free bets and other stuff expiring.

    Everyone knows im a big loser. I finally have some money and now I cant access it.

    Note, I can log in to the fantasy app but it wont let me withdraw anything.

    They didnt say. This is the automated email. When I reached out to support they literally copied and pasted the same thing. So I have no idea if its today or 5 days tomorrow. Google searches dont yield much info. I saw 10 hours, 5 days, and 30 days....


    Congratulations on your recent sportsbook win! Due to the odds and amount won on your recent wager, we must confirm with your state that you do not owe funds back to your state government. While we check on this, your account will be temporarily restricted.

    If no funds are owed, we will remove your restrictions and get you back to playing. If you do owe funds back to your state government we will withdraw the owed amount from your winnings and then reinstate your account. Thank you for your patience during this process. We will inform you as such once restrictions have been removed.

    Standard operating procedure. Your bet must have been over 300-1 odds. You're going to get a 1099. As long as you don't have outstanding states taxes, child support, etc., they should clear it within a day or two.

    Yes, that's exactly what it is. Nothing specific to you, it's automatic. It won't happen today because it's Sunday.

    I wonder if they're gonna take all my winnings because the state always takes my taxes for unpaid tuition from years ago.

    I dont even know what my pending bets are on these games. It would be nice to know what I have. Not sure why they dont at least let you log in and see your pending bets and transactions.

    He hit a 300-1 parlay. Do you think he hit it because he knows what he is doing or because he is lucky?

    If there is nothing more to it than that I may just close my account there...
    I cannot login, cannot see pending bets, cannot withdraw any funds whether its from the winning ticket or funds I already had, cannot use any of my freebets, boosts, early win tickets, risk free tickets...cannot access my PAID survivor pools where if I cant make a pick it will be an auto-loss...

    Only thing I can do is login to fantasy app but I cant withdraw or enter contests or see any info related to the sportsbook other than what my balance is.

    Support never even responded to my email when I asked them if they could tell me what my pending bets were because I legit have no idea.

    I actually did terrible, I only won 1 big ticket because of player props that I followed from an article I read, i wish i never read that dam article.

    GB cost me big time and then I chased with AZ ml and Denver ml live before I got locked out and both had epic collapses.

    I did win on Seattle ml but that was about it

    Every USA book does that (in most states at least). They are required to.

    Interesting. They might. I've heard about unpaid taxes and child support. But if the state already takes for tax refunds, that might come up here as well. Let us know how it turns out. If it takes awhile, that's a bad sign.

    Just keep it under 300-1 and this isn't an issue. You can win 100k wager, as long as it isn't over 300-1 odds.
